MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
   a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and
   values of patients
   b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care and
   delivery of care
   c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
   d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
   ANS: A
   Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with
   clinical expertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of
   patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to
   guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific
   patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of
   patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
   DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)
2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger
   research study. Which research method will the nurse use when collecting data for this study?
   a. Control
   b. Description
   c. Explanation
   d. Prediction
   ANS: B
   Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
   relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a
   prescription to produce the desired results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
   phenomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a
   specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
   DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension)
3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obese
   adults whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being used in
   this study?
   a. Control
   b. Description
   c. Explanation
   d. Prediction
   ANS: D
